Harringtonine is a protein synthesis inhibitor [1].
Harringtonine, homoharringtonine and isoharringtonine are alkaloids from Cephalotaxus harringtonia. They have an antitumour activity due to their inhibitory effect on protein synthesis and differ only in a side chain [1].
Harringtonine is a natural alkaloid from Cephalotaxus harringtonia that inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. Harringtonine inhibit the initiation of polypeptide synthesis. Harringtonine blocks peptide bond formation and aminoacyl-tRNA binding [1][2]. Harringtonine also immobilizes ribosomes immediately after translation initiation, which can be used to capture ribosome-protected mRNA fragments for evaluating translation [2]. The homolog of harringtonine, homoharrington inhibited the first steps of elongation and rapidly degraded short-lived proteins. In Pten+/- Eμ-Myc lymphomas, homoharrington blocked translation and reduced levels of Mcl-1, Cyclin D1, and c-Myc.
In mice with BCR-ABL-induced CML, homoharrington (also known as omacetaxine) significantly reduced the numbers of both LSCs and total leukemia cells [3][4].
